Place this above your console, listen position or other area where you want to reduce ambient sound and you will immediately notice a more controlled and intimate acoustic environment, larger sweet spot and reduced ear fatigue. Primacoustic designed the Stratus Broadband Ceiling Cloud to be used individually or to be linked with others to cover a wider area.

Primacoustic Stratus Broadband Ceiling Cloud Features

Suspends over the console or listening position

Attractive fabric wrapped glass wool panel

Easy to assemble suspension hardware

Eliminates floor to ceiling reflections

Attractive and very affordable, the Stratus ships in kit-form and is easily put together in minutes using a simple screw driver. The kit includes a 2 inch thick, 24x48 inch acoustic panel made from high density 6lb per cubic foot glass wool and suspension hardware. The glass wool is encapsulated with micromesh and the edges are resin treated to retain the minute fibres. For an attractive appearance, the panel is covered in an acoustically transparent fabric.

The suspension hardware of the Stratus consists of two light-weight aluminum rails and ‘L’ brackets that form a rigid frame around the panel. To hang the Stratus ceiling cloud, simply attach the included suspension wire to the frame. Hardware and fasteners for sheet-rock ceilings are included in the kit. Typically, the Stratus would be suspended above the console and clustered in an array spanning the width of your console and listening.

The Primacoustic Stratus absorbs sound energy by converting it to heat. Sound energy traveling via air vibrations penetrates the panel causing the minute glass fibres to vibrate and generate heat. This thermo-dynamic energy transfer effectively absorbs directional sound energy and prevents it from reflecting into the mix position.

By itself, the 2 inch thick glass wool panel is 100 percent effective for frequencies between 400Hz and 20kHz. To help control a broader frequency spectrum, the Stratus ceiling cloud panel may be angled to vary the air space between the Stratus and the ceiling. This allows the backing surface to also absorb reflections off the ceiling.

Customer Reviews

I bought three panels and installed them myself without any help in my studio that has a 12 foot concrete ceiling as well as exposed air ducts. I lowered them down to between 7 and 8 feet above the floor, which meant I had to go to the hardware store and purchase longer wire for the wires that came with the panel are too short. I don't consider this an issue in any way. A extremely worthwhile purchase in my particular situation.

These panels are well made and superior to foam-type material. They look better too!

Since I did the installation myself and by myself, it took about a full days work that included drilling holes into a 12 foot concrete ceiling. It was worth it.

These panels created a far better listening environment for mixing. I would include a longer wire option.

The sound changed instantly and for the better at my sitting position in front of my near field monitors.

I imagine they well last a long time due to the aluminum frame they are surrounded by.

What started as a simple string and pedal sales catalog has grown exponentially over the past thirty years. The early days were a time where catalogs didn't have much of a presence in the industry, but what began as a college dorm room operation grew rapidly. In 1986 we moved to a full product offering and 64-page catalog, which over the years has grown to 162 pages. Join the AMS family and get your free catalog now!
